Mary or Martha?
|
|
Luk 10:38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
Luk 10:39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
Luk 10:40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
Luk 10:41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
Luk 10:42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Service is good and necessary but what good is it if we cannot take the time to sit at the Masters feet? How can an empty vessel be used to quench even a single thirst? Let your time with God be your priority and out of it will flow all the works required. There will however be a difference- the work will become a joy instead of a drudgery or chore- selah.
